Poser and Bryce don't come with a $3,500 retail price, and require a bunch of plug ins. Hey, they aren't even true modeling programs, so it's not a fair comparison! If every Max user who posted free models and every company that had Max model collections would export to a generic format like 3DS or OBJ as well as Max, there wouldn't be a problem. Personally, I would buy the Espona Model Bank or Fierce Studios' Digital Back-lot in a heartbeat, but they only come in Max format, so I can't use them. Why companies would cut out 2/3's of their potential customers is beyond me.

I'd rather stay in my lane than lay in my stain!
